Update 12/07/2009

It's been a couple weeks since the last update. Amazing how time flies when we're either busy or things are going about as good as you can hope for, especially in Emily's case.

She's back in school and there was only one matter of concern on her first day back, at least from the teachers. They didn't want to risk anything given what she's been through and we're thankful for the attentiveness. But anyway, she had complained of her side/hip hurting after getting up from a nap and they called us. Maria Marcela went to pick her up about 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.

She was fine, just a little sore. She has not had to have any pain medication for the last several days, which is great.

Now we just go through the process of every 6 months getting the rods either lengthened or replaced with larger ones.

We're hoping we don't have any complications of the spinal cord to resurface. That still remains our chief concern at this point.

She and Maria Marcela plan to travel to Boston next week and will be staying 3 weeks.

Thank you everyone praying for Emily and the whole family.
